My four day blog hiatus isn’t down to me be a lazy bastard. Far from it – I’ve been in incredible pain and unable to move! I’d like to make is sound all manly and impressive and say that I injured myself doing something mightly impressive. But no … instead, on Monday evening, I was […]

At least last night on nightshifts there was someone else here – on the weekdays there are two people on nightshift, but for the weekend you get to do it all by yourself. So I’m sat here. By myself. All alone. And it’s very quiet … An email has gone round to all staff from […]

Nightshifts again then ~sigh~ I love them (for the extra ££ !), and hate them (for your body not knowing what bloody time of day it is all the time), but at least it’s the weekend now when it should be quieter. Last time I was on weekends by myself was when the pope died […]

Even as a BBC employee, there are rooms at work that I’m not allowed to go into unless I’ve got a reason for actually being there. Outside of Television Centre I discovered that this practice extends to the whole of a place called Kingswood Warren – where the BBC have their Research & Development department, […]

Another day, another 50p – and one that I actually got a week ago off of a young chap called Jonny (516) who forget to send me a photo and I refused to post it here until he sent me his picture! Now the picture he has sent me now looks suspiciously like he just […]

Ok people, it’s time to talk Doctor Who and get some of your theories as this is driving me mad! Over the past few weeks I’ve been watching every episode, and before last Saturday’s I became aware of something called ‘Bad Wolf’ which it seems is integral to the whole plot and in fact the […]

New month! Feck! – that’s nearly half the year gone! Where did the time go? Ok peeps, two things: One, it’s horse-racing season here in my home town of Epsom .. that’s right the Epsom Derby is upon us this weekend, with it all kicking off on Friday with the ‘Oaks’ race as part of […]

Alas I did not back the winner, instead I got the horse that came in fourth, missing out on an each-way bet by just one placing. Never mind, I still had fun, as the weather continually rotated around and was sunny one moment, then rainy, then windy, then sunny, then cold again … all very […]

T’was strangely quiet at work today – there were less people on duty in our team, and seemingly less people ‘in’ in the main newsroom too … surely not everyone is taking time off for their kids because it’s half-term week, is it? I had a complete trauma getting here though. First I bought two […]

Ok peeps, two things: One, it’s horse-racing season here in my home town of Epsom .. that’s right the Epsom Derby is upon us this weekend, with it all kicking off on Friday with the ‘Oaks’ race as part of ladies day. Aside from that, all the chavs appear for the weekend and clog up […]
